For the textures, I reused the same texture on both clouds and separated the texture from the one used for the branches on the same model. The clouds were moving fast, so they didn’t need much detail. Other than that, I tried to keep the texturing simple since the process sucks.

The only thing I was able to use modularly was the branches of the tree, shockingly. I wasn’t planning on it but when I realized I needed clouds to rush by, but didn’t have time to model it. However, I realized that I could use the branch model and try to texture it differently so…

My idea for the modular building kit was kind of limited. I intended to have tree roots and stalactites and stalagmites for the cavern below decks. The nature (pun not intended) of my level meant that a lot of the assets had to be unique, since there’s only one ship and one tree. Sadly, neither…

Originally, I was going to include a below-decks area styled like a cavern with stalactites, but that was cut for time. Instead, I chose to sacrifice interesting stage design by keeping a simplistic square walkable area with a tree in the middle, and instead focus on the aesthetic aspect.

Sadly I deleted my scene accidentally before I was able to add clutter, but my intention was to add tree branches and other small plants to really give the sense that the ship was being overrun by plants and that the tree had grown throughout the entire thing. Unfortunately, before I could do that, there…

For this project I used animations straight off of Mixamo. I’m not experienced with 3D animation at all, and I was very late with the project at that stage, so the most time-efficient thing to take a default approach on was the character animations, especially since I didn’t need anything particularly special as far as…
